Publish your first certificate

Add a certificate, attach the auditor’s report, and show it on your trust center with its real status. It takes about five minutes.

2 min readUpdated

Before you start

Have these ready. You’ll type the details from the certificate itself.

  • The certificate or the final report from your auditor, as a PDF of 20 MB or less
  • The issue date and the expiry date on the certificate
  • A decision on who can read the PDF: everyone, only people who sign your NDA, or only your team

Add the certificate

  1. Step 1: Open Certificates

    From the dock at the bottom of the app, choose Certs, then Add certificate.

  2. Step 2: Fill in the details

    Enter the Standard (for example ISO/IEC 27001:2022), Issued by, and the Issued and Valid until dates. The certificate number, a short description and the scope are optional.

    Still being audited? Tick Still in audit, no certificate yet and leave the expiry date empty.

  3. Step 3: Add the PDF

    Choose Add a PDF, then set Who can read the PDF.

    Public: anyone on your trust center. Behind NDA: after they sign your NDA. Private: only your team.

  4. Step 4: Publish

    Select Publish certificate. It appears on your trust center straight away. Save as draft keeps it for your team only.

How status works

You never choose a status; bynh works it out from the dates, every day. A certificate is Valid until 30 days before it expires, then Renews in {n} days, then Expired. In audit shows while you’ve ticked the audit box.

People with the A certificate is about to expire notification on get an email 90, 30 and 7 days before the date.

Automate it with the API

If certificates live in another system, you can add them from a script with a read and write token. See Add a certificate in the API reference for every field.

curl
curl https://api.bynh.io/api/v1/workspaces/dokan/certificates \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BYNH_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "ISO/IEC 27001:2022", "issuer": "BSI Group",
       "issued_on": "2025-03-10", "valid_until": "2028-03-09", "publish": true}'
